Title: #25699 Framework Compatibility

When we added support for auto-updating frameworks (with 1.x.x style version numbers), we omitted a backwards compatibility edge case; we started to assume that the framework instance name in the environment file was on the form `frameworkname_v1.2.3` (or `_v1.x.x` for the new syntax). This was not a problem for our own code since we had been following this convention - it was however technically possible to define a framework instance and name if `foo` - the old code would correctly find it (based on its version and name) where the new code expected a certain instance name. This turned out to be problematic for one of our clients and this fix resolves that issue, effectively making the system backwards compatible.
